The Christmas number of Scribner's
Magazine is especially notable for its
wealth of imaginative literature, both
in prose, fiction and narrative verse.
There is a marked individuality, vigor
sincerity and beauty shown in the
poems and stories. which have been
enriched with an unusual number of
illustrations every one of which has
been made from an original drawing
by skillful artist. These have been
reproduced by expert wood-engravers.
The result is that what is best in liter
ature and art is represented in this
number, which fittingly concludes the
first year of a wonderfully successful
magazine.
